Aug. 16, 2023 – But it wasn’t until 2009, when Bradley played the lead role in The Hangover that he became a household name.
He recalls: “I felt like I had a breakthrough when I was in a Dell computer commercial.
“The Hangover was pretty career-changing. “I was 36 when that happened so I was already in the game ten years when that happened. So I didn’t get lost in fame.”
Bradley turned to alcohol and cocaine after severing his Achilles tendon and leaving American action series Alias, from which he “got fired slash quit”, in 2003.
He has previously confessed he was “totally depressed” during that time, with the worst moment being when he deliberately bashed his head on a concrete floor at a party.
He recalled: “I was like, ‘Hey, look how tough I am!’ And I came up, and blood dripped down. And then I did it again.
“I spent the night in hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up.
